Africa Proconsularis (125 AD)

Edistiana was an ancient Roman–Berber city in the province of Africa Proconsularis and in late antiquity of Byzacena. It was located in the modern Tunisia.[1] It was a former Catholic diocese.

Edistiana was a titular bishopric of the Roman Catholic Church.[2][3][4]

Only one bishop of Edistiana is known, Miggin, a Donatist, at the Council of Carthage (411). Today Edistiana survives today as a titular bishopric;[5][6][7] the current titular bishop is Johannes Kreidler of Rottenburg–Stuttgart.[8]
